There are many benefits of secondhand finds. It’s a win-win for our earth, wallets & community!

A few benefits include:

• Saving items from the landfill (& yes, people do throw out lovely reusable items including vintage collectibles).
• Supporting local small businesses, nonprofits & community members selling items
• Saves money buying used vs new
• Earning income flipping items
• Upcycle items to sell, gift, or use in your home
• Ecofriendly buying used vs new (environment)
• Ethical buying used vs new (re: fair trade)
• Create custom designs making your items one of a kind
• Upcycled items (clean, repair or recreate) then resell offers other quality products for less than new.
